Art, Design, Theatre, Literature, History, Food, Laughter …
I have to confess to being immoderately pleased with my latest design, Botanical Fruit, which I created with beautiful clip art from The Graphics Fairy and my own textures.
Available on many products at my Zazzle, RedBubble and Fine Art America stores.
Linking to Brag Monday @ The Graphics Fairy
I hope you like it as much as I do!
Take care and keep laughing.
